Everytime i workout the muscle soreness due to the workout last 4-5 days. So i go to gym once or twice a week. How do i reduce the soreness and the duration it takes to recover??
Is there any supplements?

ALSO....if you are NEW to working out or this program, it takes TIME for your body to adapt to the stress...The only thing lifting twice a week will do for recovery is make you UNABLE to handle more days than that....Try sticking to that 3-4 times a week, and seeing if after a few weeks you can't handle it a little better. THe body has to adapt...just like how a construction worker lifting cement all day will eventually handle 8 hours of lifting, or football players practice every day, etc....Give it time.

Food is very important for recovery. You should eat a 50-25-25 ratio(carbs,proteins,fats) and eat a certain amount of protein depending on your goals.

Go to the gym more often than once or twice a week. You're obviously not training enough to get/maintain any condition.

Or a 2:1:1 ratio....either way ;)

What sort of workout keeps you sore for so many days? Are you doing heavy negatives?

If you want supplements, i suggest Optimum Nutrition. They have high amounts of BCAA's in their protein so you dont have to buy another supplement, save you some money. Stretching, get enough protein and complex carbs, and SLEEP will do the trick.

make sure you stretch before and after your workout and immediately have a protein shake after your work out. and work out different body part each day so even if one is sore you do still work the other. Give it a few weeks and you should only be sore for a day or two

I do the usual. Benceh press, dips, chinup. What's heavy negatives?

I was thinking of taking creatine to decrease recovery time. Will it help??

p.s.
Eat more protein as well. Probably should eat more fat and carbs too... Don't forget other things like sleep etc.
